DEAD MAN'S HAND pre-orders and preview

[greatescapegames]

It really is up to you. We've said about 3 x 3 but played in smaller areas, especially for the early scenes. Elbows, you'll be happy to know that the gunhand for the Cowboys is a black guy.

[Elbows]

I can understand that - after all Cowboys and Old West minis in general don't sell in huge numbers, so prices go up, etc.  They're also not "bad" prices just a bit more than I pay for my normal guys.  If I see a set which really gets me, I may pick some up.  The desperados set is appealing.

I thought I had seen you post it somewhere, do you have a list of U.S. distibutors yet?

If  I was a gambler, I would say the Desperado set is going to outsell the other sets. Maybe even combined.

I'll add the US distributors list as soon as Mark at Great Escape Games confirms it (should be next week).

Now I reckon the Lawmen, followed by Desperados... I appreciate what you have have said as I painted the Desperados. We have had the gunhand painted by the amazing Cubster but won't have a picture of that for at least a week.

It'll be interesting for my sanity; we've had equal numbers of each cast to start with.

Hurry up with the US listing, those of us on that side of the pond would appreciate it. Sucks to eat the shipping and exchange rate both plus wait sometimes almost 2 weeks to get anything. About the time your stuff drops for sale will be when I am going to get in line for the rules and a box of Desperados....I have plenty of old west figs, but those guys take the cake. And I am a sucker for those type of bad guys and the confederate uniforms and the Native american tugs at my hearstrings of my lineage.

Great Escape had a question...

Reference: http://www.greatescapegames.co.uk/dead-mans-hand/scenes

In the Judge Barker Must Die scene it says in "THE END" that the game ends if one of FOUR things happen. There are only 3 in the PDF. Is that  a typo and Four should be Three or was one omitted? The scene looks stacked against the Bad Guys in the scene with the current, was there a final win option for the bad guys? "If the good guys run out of cards"?

I read contracts for a living so proofing is what I do.

I think I mentioned it over on TMP, but GreatEscape --- if you're going stateside and can swing it, Neal over at www.thewarstore.com is basically the bread and butter for many, many (if not, most) American gamers.

Since I buy all my paints, terrain, and often miniatures there - it'd be even more enticing to be able to purchase some extra minis there too.  He's a good dude and has excellent shipping costs.  Definitely look into it.

I can say he has some me some goodies and I have sent a few people his way.

[greatescapegames]

I'm in touch with Neal at the moment. If he gets some emails asking him if he's stocking DMH I am sure that'll help...

Styx, it's three not four. Although a tough one for the baddies, the following scene is tough for the goodies.

[The Dozing Dragon]

I have over 50 Old West minis so it's hard to really justify any more! 

You will leave this room right now

Just read the DMH article in WS&S.  Good overview.  Also happy to say it's significantly different from SnS, which is a load off my mind!     Nice work.

(waits patiently for buildings)

Waiting impatiently for buildings!

[greatescapegames]

Fingers crossed I will have some juicy details about the buildings this weekend.

I also read and enjoyed the article in WSS and it's peaked my interest in the game. I like the card element.
